Day 178

I am actually in love with Bobby.

I want him so much, it's untrue.

I rode him today and he was marvellous.

I used a schooling whip because I wanted to work him rounder and softer, into playing and fighting me less, because that's always good. I started using a few trotting poles, teaching him to listen to me because the odds are he can clear it better when he does.

When it got to top hole, he flew...over the wing. So Ray put a cone in the way and I beat him into it and he flew the jump. I did that again without the cone and he was just awesomes. Seriously.
